Transmittal No. 25-63
WASHINGTON, December 05, 2025 - The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Lebanon of M1085A2 and M1078A2 Medium Tactical Vehicles and related equipment for an estimated cost of $90.5 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress.
The Government of Lebanon has requested to buy 5-ton M1085A2 Medium Tactical Vehicles (MTVs) without winch; 2.5-ton M1078A2 MTVs without winch; spare and repair parts; publications and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $90.5 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East.
The proposed sale will improve Lebanon’s capability to meet current and future threats by enabling Lebanese Armed Forces to rapidly engage and defeat perimeter security threats and readily employ counter and anti-terrorism measures. A highly mobile and medium tactical vehicle capability will enable additional military-to-military tactics and operational training between the United States and Lebanon. Lebanon will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Oshkosh Defense, located in Oshkosh, WI. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Lebanon.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department's
